A strong third was enough

for the fourth Time in Kloten and the EHC Winterthur, met each other for the third Time the winner was called Kloten. What was different from that in the three Games before: The duel wasn't real. Emotions were missing largely, both Teams had to come after the break, a bit of effort in the course.

Kloten managed the better to convince without. The Shot record of 12:2 after 20 minutes said a lot. Winterthur had the first Chance, later played for Kloten. With the emphasis on "play". To little directly, with too little Tempo and pressure on the opponent's goal is the favorite.

As he changed from the second third, it was done by Winterthur quickly. Patrick Obrist and Adrian Wetli not exerted such pressure on the foreigners formation of the EHCW that got in their own third of the disc under control. Simon Kindschi shot, with Adrian Wetli, a former Winterthur was, of all things, to dispose of the rebound.

Winterthur's foreigners pale

several Times the Winterthur were overwhelmed by the pace, and gave the Klotenern occasions enough to play in the Majority. But is the discipline that dominate in the Swiss League at best, gelag you yesterday, not good at all. Statistically, they remained without Powerplaytor, in principle, but the 2:0 was from Jack Combs, an Überzahlgoal. Because the penalty of Atanasio Molina was ended only nine seconds, the defender is still not properly back in the game.

Only 16 seconds later, it was 3:0, because Ryan MacMurchy sat alone against (almost) all the opponents and backhand hit. Again, the Winterthur foreigners were on the ice. EHCW-Coach Michel Zeiter took after a Timeout, but the action on the ice has changed little.

The Klotener took back the Kingdom, with the concentration in the last third of a thing. The majority of the situations they completed in between, almost without a shot on goal. And one or the other took the opportunity to return the favor to the enemy for previously suffered strokes. MacMurchy, whose 13. Goal of the season was only the fourth in the case of numeric equality, had to twice on the penalty bench and allowed the Winterthurern the 1:3 after 53 minutes.

the hustle came on, however, is no more. The EHCW did not even manage to take a Goalie Oehninger from the ice. Kloten took the three points without any further upsets. It was the fifth victory in a row, or the twelfth from the last 14 games.

Kloten advance to the 5th place

Thus, the Zürcher unterländer moving in to the table once again finally something. Before, they had been approaching the Top 5, now they are one of the five best Teams. You are a point in front of Visp, rank 2 is only five meters. Until the Playoff Start, the Team should take advantage of this situation to gain the home-field advantage, to occupy a rank among the first four teams.

"We are still Learning," said Coach André Rötheli for the last third, which could not have also liked. "But now we have to win such games." The next one follows on Friday in Küsnacht against the GCK Lions.

And this GCK Lions were yesterday, that the task of Winterthur has not become easier. The Lions are now ranked 8, Winterthur, residue amounts to 16 points. "We need the Positive to take," said Winterthur's coach Michel Zeiter. "The game in under number was again sensational." They had the Match in the 32. Minute of the middle third of lost. Only four minutes after Kloten 1:0 Winterthur had bad luck with a post shot. The problems with the shot are, however, at the EHCW nothing New.
